Assigning the Supervisor station
To identify the Supervisor station to which the remote host controller belongs involves creating a group. In addition to extending
the intrusion zone physically, expanding the zone by adding stations shares the arming status and zone enable status with
all stations in the zone. You can view or control a zone’s status (armed or disarmed) from a peer station or a Supervisor
station if the stations are grouped.
Prerequisites: You are using the web UI in the remote host station.
- From the main menu, click , and double-click an existing intrusion zone.The Intrusion zone view opens. The name of the view reflects the name of the zone.
- Click the Grouping tab, and click the Assign Mode button (
).The Unassigned pane opens with a list of available stations. - Select the Supervisor station to assign to the group and click the
Assignbutton (
).The system assigns the station to the intrusion zone group. The Supervisor station now lists the original intrusion zone in its own list of intrusion zones. - Connect to the Supervisor station you just added.
- To view its intrusion zone properties, from the main menu click , and double-click on the existing intrusion zone.The Intrusion Zones view opens.
- Double-click the intrusion zone.The remote host’s intrusion zone status shows correctly in the Supervisor station’s intrusion zone. Assigning a Supervisor station causes the zone status to show correctly and updates to occur without replication.
Do not use the Reader tab on a Supervisor station.
